MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
To reduce the risk of SEVERE INJURY or DEATH:
• READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
• ANY maintenance to the operator or in the area near the operator
MUST NOT be performed until disconnecting the electrical power (AC or solar and battery) and locking-out the power via the operator power switch. Upon completion of maintenance the area MUST be cleared and secured, at that time the unit may be returned to service.
• Disconnect power at the fuse box BEFORE proceeding. Operator
MUST be properly grounded and connected in accordance with national and local electrical codes. NOTE: The operator should be on a separate fused line of adequate capacity.
• NEVER let children operate or play with gate controls. Keep the remote control away from children.
• ALWAYS keep people and objects away from the gate. NO ONE
SHOULD CROSS THE PATH OF THE MOVING GATE.
• The entrance is for vehicles ONLY. Pedestrians MUST use separate entrance.
• Test the gate operator monthly. The gate MUST reverse on contact with a rigid object or reverse when an object activates the non-contact sensors. After adjusting the force or the limit of travel, retest the gate operator. Failure to adjust and retest the gate operator properly can increase the risk of INJURY or DEATH.
• Use the manual disconnect release ONLY when the gate is NOT moving.
• KEEP GATES PROPERLY MAINTAINED. Read the owner’s manual.
Have a qualified service person make repairs to gate hardware.
• ALL maintenance MUST be performed by a LiftMaster professional.

NOTES:
• Severe or high cycle usage will require more frequent maintenance checks.
• It is suggested that while at the site voltage readings be taken at the operator. Using a digital voltmeter, verify that the incoming voltage to the operator is within ten percent of the operator’s rating.
BATTERIES
Batteries will degrade over time depending on temperature and usage.
The operator alarm will beep 3 times with a command if the battery is low. Batteries do not perform well in extremely cold temperatures. For best performance, the batteries should be replaced every 3 years. Use only LiftMaster part 29-NP712 for replacement batteries. The standard control box comes with two 7AH batteries.
